What I love most about Corliss high school is the school community is like family. We are the safest high school in our district and it is shown throughout the day. The teacher are more than just educators, they actually care about the students well-being. The students look out for one another even if there is issues we all know that we are still family. I wouldn't change anything about Corliss high school

I was there for a couple of months but the experience is real. The teachers don't force you to do anything, the push you and encourage you to do your best. It's follow yourself and do good no matter what else happens or fail doing nothing at all.
